Welcome to Tasmanian Women in Agriculture

Providing links for all rural women

 

Tasmanian Women in Agriculture formed in 1994.  From a gathering of over 140 women from around the state, we now have a membership base of 1,000 and growing.

 

  In response to the grim situation down the South East, the Westbury Lions Club is facilitating a fodder drive. 

 

All fodder collected will be distributed by the Rotary Club of Spring Bay and so far just amongst their own members they have collected three semi trailer loads.  Many of the Lions Club members are farmers themselves and they hope this joint effort between two service clubs, will help show the farmers down south, that people do actually care.  

 

If any one has any fodder to donate, please contact:
Philip Paterson on 0428 583320 – every bale helps!
